- ~15~~~~"Rooms are 20, drinks are 10, and dinners are 25. Have you met Tiashi Ci?~~
- He runs a training camp of Martial Artists in the mountains. They are~~
- opposed to the armour and weapons of the soldiers. I don't know how to get~~
- there, but someone in town must know. Ask them about ~9Tiashi~15."~~
- ~! burkbar
- ~~"Wait! Before you ask (every visitor soon asks), there is no inn in town. We~~
- don't get enough visitors to keep an inn in business. But my tavern does~~
- make a pretty good business. Drinks for 3 coins and dinner for 15."~~
- ~! deep1
- ~~~9"This armour is the strongest ever known."~~
- ~11The man's tone changes. ~9"Your battle in your future...~~
- "You must be careful, your enemy will have a special attack that will cripple~~
- you no matter how strong you get before then. Hide behind your shield to~~
- dodge the attack. Perhaps not the information you wanted? Glory is found~~
- in yourself."
- ~! deep2
- ~~"Tiashi! Welcome, welcome. Why is it you come?"~~
- ~13"My master, this man appears to have the power and wisdom we need to defeat~~
- the king!" ~11Answers Tiashi.~~
- The master sizes you up. ~9"Why this weakling from Hayward?"~~
- ~13"His anger is deep for the king, yet he controls it. In less than a day, he~~
- learned the moves of my camp."~~
- ~9"I see... for now some advice. I believe a major battle is in your future,~~
- you must learn the secrets in this world to survive. Know this: Defense~~
- is the only way to keep some attacks from hitting you. You must learn~~
- when to use defense and when to attack. Take Tiashi and go to Sussenex.~~
- Somewhere in the mountains is a secret. Come back after you find it."~~
- ~! susbar
- ~5~~"There is not a whole lot to talk about now, is there, ~@? I know you came~~
- here because of Scorion and his axes. So, I'm afraid I can't be much help.~~
- Maybe you should try the innkeeper.~~
- But if you would like a dinner for thirty coins or a drink for five. I can~~
- help you there."~~
- ~! susinn
- ~5~~"I suppose you came here to see Scorion and his magnificent axes. Well,~~
- he kinda stays out of the lights. Alot of people come here to get an axe or~~
- just to see what all the fuss is about. You look like the sort that would~~
- be interested in buying one so I will tell you how to find him. Go to the~~
- Artisan's square. There is a sewer where he keeps his shop. He doesn't~~
- live there but he has his shop there so he can get some time to work. He~~
- isn't exactly an unknown." At the sqaure, press (!).~~
- ~! scorshop
- ~9~~You find a sewer and walk deep into it until you find a small door that~~
- says "Scorion's shop : Don't come in with out reason." You decide you have~~
- a reason and go on in.~~
- ~! offtell
- ~12~~"OK! OK! Ha Ha! I don't know why I didn't go ahead and tell you. The key~~
- is in the Dragon's Lair in Burkshire! Good luck! I hid it there when I~~
- found out about Pomdirguna. Ha Ha!"~~
- ~! haybar
- ~~~13"I heard what happened to your farm. Sorry, ~@. The King is indeed a~~
- a foul ruler. Too bad there is no army large enough to beat him. Perhaps,~~
- we don't need an army. Maybe one person, a hero, could dethrone him. Wouldn't~~
- that be nice? Well, would you like a drink or something to ease the grief? I~~
- have some fine wine for ten coins. Also, for only thirty coins, you may have~~
- a dinner plate, and eat till you can't eat any more. Just let me know."~~
- ~6"By the way: Press ~148~6 for the Thieves' Guild."~~
- ~! haypat
- ~~~9You walk to a table where three patrons are carrying on a conversation. You~~
- ask them if you can join them, and they welcome your company.~~
- ~! hayinn
- ~13~~~~"Times are tough right now. No one is wanting to visit this little island~~
- anymore. Not only is it dull and far away from everything but now~~
- that the king is taking away all the land from the farmers, noone comes~~
- here anymore for good food and prices from the Market. I heard that~~
- Pomdirgunua is also having some problems with the king's troops.~~
- Good luck in your journeys!"~~
- ~! denbar
- ~13~~"Howdy, new to The Den, aren't you? Come for the Baths and Casino, Aye? ~~
- Well, my Tavern and Inn is a good place to stay and to make the time go~~
- by if you have some bad luck in the Casino. I can give you a drink for~~
- 10 coins. I'm sure it will make you fill better. Dinner is 45, Rooms~~
- are 40 coins."~~
- ~! pominn
- ~13~~"Times are tough right now in Pomdirgunua. Soldiers have been taking land~~
- away from the farmers and merchants. There used to be two taverns in town,~~
- the soldiers took one of them and simply burned it down. The other tavern~~
- is now their headquarters, it seems. I would stay away from there if I~~
- were you. Well, if you would like a room, I charge 30 coins. I also have~~
- some fine ale for 5 coins."~~
- ~! pomtav
- ~5~~Most of the soldiers are wearing chain armour and a green uniform with a~~
- red stripe. The others are wearing plate armour and a green uniform with a~~
- blue stripe. These you recognize to be Royal Soldiers of the Castle~~
- Trimmail. The Royal soldiers are the same that burned your home.~~
- ~! drink
- ~~~~~5The drink soothes your throat as it goes down. Although it~~
- makes you a little dizzy, you feel as though you have more energy.~~
- ~! furshop
- ~12Furs from all kinds of animals hang on the walls. Some you have seen and some
- ~~you don't know what animal it could be from. A woman stands ready to help you.~~

- ~! talkfur
- ~13~~~~"Anytime you want to go up in the mountains, you need a fur suit. You will ~~
- die if you don't have one. I also buy skins that you may have gotten from the~~
- forest. If by any means you have gotten dragon scales, I can make a shield~~
- or suit of armour out of them. So, do you need a fur suit?"~~
- ~! spotwoman
- ~~~9As you begin to cast out, you spot a young beautiful woman walking toward~~
- you. You lay your pole down and great the stranger.~~
- ~12"How art thou? My name is Sheena. I am looking for someone to travel with.~~
- In exchange, I will help you in battle and anywhere else I might be able to.~~
- Twould be an honor." ~9[~12Y~9/~12n~9]
- ~! compwoman
- ~~~12"Great. I'm ready to go." ~9You welcome your new companion.~~
- ~12~~"By the way, you may want to talk to an old man that lives in~~and off of the forest. Press ~15H~12 when hunting."~~
- ~! manfish
- ~15A man approaches you and says:~~
- ~9"Give me that fish and I will tell you a secret."~~
- ~15Y~7es or ~15N~7o?~~
- ~! manfishtell
- ~~~9"If you know where to look, many secrets can be found. I have friends in the~~
- tavern. Ask them about the ~15Taunt~9 spell."~~
- ~! cloudysky
- ~8The cloudy sky releases a powerful bolt of electricity that strikes the ground~~
- near you. The impact rocks the ground around you and you back away from the~~
- scorched earth.
- ~G
- ~15Then suddenly the sky unleashes another bolt of lightning this time striking~~
- you on the head.
- ~G
- ~9In the startling, although painless, jolt, you can feel a new source of~~
- power radiating throughout your body.
- ~! younggirl
- ~15A young girl approaches...~~
- ~=
- ~9"I can feel your importance to this world. Would you like to have power over~~
- nature? In The Den, there is a ~15leaf~9, eat of it to gain the ability."~~
- ~7And then the girl disappears from site.~~
- "Enough strange things for a day." You say to yourself.
- ~! youngboy
- ~15A young boy approaches...~~
- ~=
- ~9"Can I have 10 coins for my family, please?" ~7The boy's face looks~~
- extremely pitiful but full of hope.~~
- ~15Y~7es or ~15N~7o?
- ~! denman
- ~5~~A middle-aged man answers the door and asks what your business is.~~

- ~9"My friend is lost, he last went to Hayward. You want to chat?~~
- Will you please find him?"
- ~G
- ~! manrosen
- ~5A middle-aged man answers the knock.~~
- ~#
- ~13As soon as he and Rosencrantz see each other, they laugh and shake hands.~~
- They both invite you inside. You are healed with the dinner.~~
- ~9"So, what brings you here?" asks the man.~~
- ~13"Just happened upon it while fishing. But since we are here, how about~~
- teaching this man your fighting technique?" asks Rosencrantz.~~
- ~#
- ~! manbum
- ~~~9"Well, I have been wanting to get some practice anyway!"~~
- ~#
- ~~~5The man, Rosencrantz, and you start to wrestle and attack each other~~
- football charging style. After several hours of knocking each other off~~
- their feet, you begin to get good at it.~~
- ~15You have learned ~12Bum Rush~15.~~
- ~! monkcamp
- ~13
- You come upon a small camp of tents and small houses built into the side of~~
- trees. Many cloaked figures walk the camp. Some turn towards you while~~
- others do not notice your present.~~~~
- ~11(~15R~11) Talk to red cloaked man~~

- ~! riddle
- ~~~~~15My soul surrounds you.~~
- You hear me, but I make no sound.~~
- You see me, but I am invisible.~~
- In my eyes, you were born,~~

- You can not kill me,~~
- nor can you stop me.~~
- Only in my wish, will you answer this question.~~~~

- ~! adviceman
- ~2You are standing in a small cabin obviously made from the forest around~~
- it. A short puggy man stands ready to assist you.~~
- ~~(~15A~2) Ask for Advice~~
- (~15L~2) Leave~~
- ~! advice1
- ~~~12"I see."~9 The man waves his hand over your head. ~12"Now you have the magical
- ~~ability to heal yourself in battle. But this is a fraction of your ability.~~
- Come back when you are more learned in the way of the land."~~
- ~! advice2
- ~~~11"Perhaps you are ready for an advancement in your magical ability. See this~~
- bowl of liquid. Inhale it but do not touch. If you are ready to advance,~~
- you will learn a helpful spell."~~
- ~G
- ~9You inhale it deeply, and your magic level increases.
- ~~~15You have learned ~12VANISH~15.
- ~! cemetary
- ~15You are standing in the middle of an old and run-down cemetary. Most of the~~
- tombstones, if standing, are chipped and cracked making them unreadable.~~
- ~=
- ~7As you are about to leave, a dense mist forms around a large masoleum and~~
- ~7a ghostly figure forms in front of you. It appears that it is trying to~~
- speak but you can hear no words.~~
- ~8A vial of potion materializes in your hand.~~
- Drink it down? ~15Y~8es or ~15N~8o~~
- ~! tiashicamp
- ~2~~In a small mountain valley, a group of small huts and large meeting halls~~
- sit under the few trees here. Many short men scurry around doing chores and~~
- practicing martial arts. Despite the coldness and shrill winds, this appears~~
- to be a cozy little village.~~

- ~! tiashiboybread
- ~5~~You hand the little boy a piece of bread.~~
- ~13"Oh! We don't see much bread up here. If Tiashi seems a little hostile~~

- ~! tiashired
- ~~~~~13Walking into the red training hall, you see many young boys practicing ~~
- their fighting skills. After a moment of looking around, an older man ~~
- approaches you.~~
- ~G
- ~15"What are you doing here?"~~
- ~13How do you answer?~~
- (~15T~13) To get training~~

- ~~~15We do not normally train those who are outside our little community. But, my~~
